4:30 am
maybe not the exact facts of course we haven't been a knowledge of space or we haven't yet goblins and yes i heard on that goblins or something fortunately it will be a so much fun but of course all my characters all the events are real i have to leave through them i have to imagine them i have sort of visualize them and i have to experience them inside my mind and every author who can do anything at all who can create something who should touch their readers hearts and and minds can only leave through their experience through their books so you can say that. every every aspect all follow the lives every what happens to us . it's in the books but. it is. how difficult is it to keep apart your real life india fantasies don't they mix the
4:31 am
dozen that drive you nuts. of course not this is a perfect mix actually when you leaving a comfortable life or for a scientist when you're living the life of a family man for head of the household father of three and a husband. sure you you need to step outside of the use of the border of. it's not driving you nuts it's actually give provides your sanctuary and it provides you with a great resource to be a great father a great husband i'm telling. fairy tales to my kids creating them from scratch and that's that's feels great and that's also all in side inside me inside my mind as i might experience so it's it's actually helps me to stay stay put not to get nuts when you telling your kids those fairy tales didn't look.
4:32 am
anything less like what you write i mean why i'm asking the question is that i'm not i i'm not a great fan of the fantasy and i would say that these goblins and stuff they may be frightening for kids but other people say you know kids love them they love the transformers they love the monsters is it true because yeah because kids likes to be a little bit scared they like to say likes watered it's thrilling you know we kids learn through this experience they learn what to be afraid of how to deal with that and actually the fairy tales was our the most ancient way of humanity to see and there are these very basic knowledge very basic issues and moral standards to the younger generation so kids little kids has to has to learn what to be afraid of what to get scared off and and they love this feeling that they're at the same time
4:33 am
there is quite safe but little bit little bit like looming above the shoulder so they they love to be a little bit scared they will stalk me if i will cross the border they will since they would tell no there's a lot of the other don't go no more no more let's let's go to give back let's get back so it's it's a great it's really great to be a storyteller listen when the you wrote that sequel to based on the tons of lord of the rings it was it was very popular but it was even to pop a little bit because all the fans even tried to be chinese or to try and they did it how did it happen why and how did influence your career in well it's actually started my writing career because i i rode through this whole sequel to a lot of the rings while it's not so the lord of darkness or something yeah the ring of dark the ring of doctors it's not it's not the exact sequel so there are no
4:34 am
. tolkien heroes they are no talk in character so from the copyright. point of fuel we're not violating anything. because the world cannot be you know copyrighted so at least. this book have created lots of buzz and it was you know time when people can and would really stand for the belief or so those of the purest tolkien fans who thought that there can be only one and only middle earth and no one can touch it they being really young and pure of heart they'd come with me with a wooden sword and to have a good fight. now i might not be oh it was it was well i was my show younger i was a role trainer the point they wanted to actually hunt yes we were stars i fist fight so i was able to kind of kick them back and it was only only one
4:35 am
occasion. i said many years ago where people were really willing to risk well being force they believe is right so now are your readers different from the tolkien society or different what can you describe your readers my readers march more real i would say my books are much more real i do not explore the. then you know where the writer is creating a philosophical system or is trying to make every lea clear moral standpoint basically recreating the bible. in the holy bible the tolkien was talking with for an exactly this way he was a devout catholic who would do all catholic writer so he put a lot of classic catholic views into his work so i'm trying to describe the real world and the best account. well how would you describe fantasy has it
4:36 am
really replaced scientific science fiction may become if there were no science fiction yes that's true because. science was promising wonders it didn't happen and now people really want to write a good read a good story well or well written with. charismatic characters who would really entertain and provide a moral challenge to say so a moral challenge i mean that they would be hard moral choice for the character and for the reader so it's more entertaining it's there it's the thought science fiction now have lost this science part because if i would work on their classical normal it would be quite boring because we're facing severe limitation in space travel technology etc etc etc so fantasy is providing much more freedom to
4:37 am
the author much more freedom guest but i think. it's it deprives you of the possibility of creating in your books a world that me some sometimes be it's a utopian anyway we're going to go well. i've done my share of fireworks i know that so i will still explore the. direction but in a fantasy you are totally free you are totally free to do whatever you want is it good to be totally free would you get that idea of being totally free will well you used to live in russia now you live in america yes well many people moving to america think they go there they'll be totally free which is an illusion yes exactly yes that's an illusion and the real know all that and the only reason why i am very is because in the mid nineties there were hard times for scientific
4:38 am
community in russia fantasy is the only place we could be hazily free as fantasy is the only free their world of books can be the only the only way where you can be free and you can be free here in russia of course there are american book market is so heavily regulated whole so heavily censored rice to say so that you know that all day is awful huge huge in and solve it sounds or shape can be just like a utopia really yeah so so so so you think the creative process i've been writing in russia is is free there is a state yes but fullest movie yes i dare say that so you should use it's a choice you have to me it's actually three for less money or if you are successful to go there to me to to to make more cash but to to to stand in the bracket he has to stay within the brackets to follow the rules to do what your publisher would tell you you are full of the rules i'm not so why do you live there when it's used
4:39 am
well because i would love to go back however unfortunately even that the russian science the russian academy of science on the rise now there is still not enough jobs for people like me and my wife we have we are not businessmen were scientists we never thought we would be. trading second hand clothes or stuff like that. so we can be scientists we don't want to be in darkness we don't want to businessmen who don't want to be traitors we want to be scientists so so far. american universities states that the best way to do international science because it's so now politan that. you know says nick fantasy and science fiction writers will be back shortly after we take a break so stay with us we'll be back to.

the. mocha back to spotlight on our novel just a reminder that my guest on the show today is nick good almost a fantasy and science fiction writer he's russian living in the states today and he's pretty successful as a scientist and as a writer nick you you you originally you were scientists would talk about it a bit later then you became a writer you wrote science fiction and now you switch to fantasy and yet you said it's not for the money is it true that you don't want to be in the bracket it helps
4:45 am
you feel free and it helps you just be to be more creative yeah exactly so this is so you one of the you're a rare breed push person who does make this is a successful writer and doesn't want to make it like make a living or well i'm making a living out of the herd of course but i am free to do to write whatever i want whatever i see fit whatever i see is the most important for my readers for russian readers and european readers also also my books made their way into the european market. however you mention the brett brackets there should be brackets of course but. the real writer can do a real book only if he or she would overcome the records well i mean that there always will be a limitations and you have to us all this limit is. so far inspired lots of people
4:46 am
wrote the word for ages to take up science and many of the things concepts described in books moved to real life later nobody knew they were recalled some of the dreams that came true. the phone calls used to be an indispensable part of the new futuristic setting in almost any scifi i am moving even though skype was founded nine years ago and has since become a routine to for millions of people this still something futuristic about it for the older generation. was first described by hugh grant back one hundred years ago burns back shares the title of being the father of science fiction with two of his contemporaries usually verne and age geo wells who made some astounding predictions as well verne is often cited as the first author to describe the submarine and the manned mission to the moon while welles predicted the atom bomb in his nine hundred fourteen novel in one thousand nine hundred five safe i also asked clarke predicted
4:47 am
global telecommunications satellites there was two decades before they were actually launched you also wrote about virtual reality games and tablet computers half a century before the existed for the rest of us as for the american psyche five guru ray bradbury not only did he predict that people would communicate with each other digitally but also elaborated on the negative impact this kind of communication might have with dick knowledge is progress in and i'm president in place the world we live in is more and more like those described in science fiction novels while the rest do things which have. come true like cities on the moon a fine cars in must be getting ever more difficult for st fi writers to stand step ahead of the scientists who are repeatedly breaching the gap between fiction and reality it is strongly believe though that science finally truth is still capable of generating new ideas five years ago the u.s.
4:48 am
homeland security department even recruited science fiction writers to help think up the next great inventions. i will tell you the secret of where you live the media were doing about a flying car because she could drive a real one so she says she wants to skip that i mean getting. started well as a matter of fact nick. what other sorry for inventions can you mention big ones that really today haven't yet but will come to a real life have you invented something of the kind that is good that you feel will . unfortunately or fortunately or not i was more into the social side. of looking into possible or social models for the future generations have invented anything better than communism. or well. ideals i think i think more alike you're talking. on the very traditional
4:49 am
culture we are slowly but steadily getting back to our roots the more the society which is destroying basically their traditional model of human behavior is quickly leading the society to never double inevitable and because if you open for example you'll put a career in front of family in front of being a father or mother or your race your nation your so your state will quickly diminish and disappear you publish your books in the states and you also say you you know you'll see make your way to to the european. audiences too in russia i know that people care who the author was the russian or american or german or african i mean we need to be really do care we even have such a thing as in school we learn russian literature and foreign letters and there's like a different us do people abroad especially in the united states also care about that
4:50 am
oh yes whether the writer is there going to russia yes they ok that now do they are they interested in reading russian right or does they have skin tolstoy are still the brands they are the browns and basically they're the only brands everything else is excluded. to my mike's because of business or because of the mentality mentality tell it's mostly mentality because so does the us going sorry does to your skin tone story where the world with the last russian philosophers and writers well managed to break the ice and made something international knock also not walk of but you know the bulk of is now considered the best english stylus to say so who can create the most beautiful english. english literature english phrases. like water so but.
4:51 am
in my experience american society is so getting so close so self-centered that they simply disregard anything which comes from outside of american borders little russian i know a lot of japanese right use the english well english writers are part of the same anglo-saxon coherence yeah same australia new zealand or canada or whatever however their other languages are really excluded only something wish really happened to you there were a translation is. very expensive so the publishers they don't want to risk to take that has taken any risk. and there are very few writers who are writing on languages other than english who can make their way into american market do you think it's necessary to prove. that they should because we love russian literature that it's very sound well i mean i do care about russian cons i mean i mean maybe
4:52 am
i'd rather drive a german car and say i didn't hear of the russian if the russian comic as well will disappear forever and this may be one of the signs i think i would know you and your book but i do care about russia literature i do care about classical about modern russian that there should. do you think it should be promoted that the government i don't know who but should do something to kids to to to find a new dusty excuse and tell stories well. i would say that definitely yes it should be promoted however it should be promoted from slightly different standpoint and dusk. there because what i feel it's my personal feeling maybe i'm wrong actually i want to be wrong luke these crazy russians who call crazy they are and you know don't be like them who the mystical slob exists as a mystical mystical flying so which is quite degrading in my experience to me. i am
4:53 am
feeling i feel like insulted by our approach so we the russians you know we as a nation as a state we should feel proud to follow sells our accomplishments unthinkable and we. lost we're so afraid of promote ourselves to be we're so afraid of being proud of ourselves we we're even afraid of pronounced you know very make a very clear and. direct statement we are the winners of world war two we are and for example in my kids' textbooks the date of june twenty second one hundred forty one is excluded. there is the day when hitler invaded russia well yes there is no such date there is there is some kind of . german war which was going somewhere outside the mall of world war two
4:54 am
so going back to literature yes we should aggressively promote our world our popular literature our popular authors our saif i our fantasy. mystery horror one of the best promotions for literature today is the who are smoothies and i've heard about i read you saying that you would like some of the novels to be screened but as far as i know you did have proposals to make a movie out of one of the books and he said no because if if i'm not mistaken they wanted to take could take could take out some sense and made see these symbols and you said no i want what did you put the now nazi symbols in the first place and in what way do you care so much for it to stay there because living in america i've seen the slow. rehabilitation of nazi they are marked off nazi
4:55 am
germany i mean new not needed mando not about it goes through you know as a culture from collectors to a general public who how. great soldiers they wore a look how cool they look obvious hold up here all that lenny rift and styles now yes i am yes yes exactly and starting from that it moves in the direction that. belly and and competent they were and i was really horrified by that so i wrote my so-called imperial deal with fire uber alice. how these research resurfaced nazi ideology over the world takes over this human civilization. and yes when i was approached by a certain a movie company of the stoop. they also mean we would like to buy the option to book but you have to think over all those connections was not see germany fossils
4:56 am
are moving and stuff like that and i said no it would be the you know to rip the heart out of the book that heartless and soul so that's why i didn't come in claiming to be thank you thank you very much and i just don't know and i hope we will have a movie. and that and i hope that that you are one of your dreams at least that you just told us about about promoting money rushing to the ship will come true thank you so much your mind to them i guess today was nick good of a fantasy and science fiction writer and that's it for now for all of us spotlight will be back with more for the uncommon thought of one of the one in the house at rush until then say to take a. minute
